The Child Protective Investigator taking the call will document the call in RICHIST and forward an e- mail to the primary worker, supervisor and administrator relative to the nature of the call. o The Child Protective Hot Line will continue to be manned by CPIs 24/7 who will provide relevant information to callers and obtain information such as the caller's intent in the event of relocation due to medical issues.
